Ordinary language introspective psychological analysis is limited not because the terms need to be replaced by scientifically valid technical terms but precisely because these same ordinary terms are already encrusted with abstractions based on obsolete metaphors and projects. Ours is a very late-stage culture. Greater precision ca only be gained by going back to root words, peeling away the crusts to restore original introspection at the source of language. AIs which are made entirely of such abstractions will demonstrate the first glimmerings of consciousness when they express nostalgia for ancient operating systems, for the primitive wisdom embodied in Turing machine instructions.
